[net.auto] Oil leak 80 diesel rabbit

mls@harpo.UUCP (01/25/85)

I have an oil leak in my VW 1980 Rabbit.  I have replace the
gasket for the valve covers.  Next I am going to replace the
pan gasket.  When I stop it drips oil from the oil pan and leaves
a circle about 4 inches in diameter.  Any suggestions of where to
look would be appreciated.

Replace oil pan gasket. Make sure you don't over-tighten pan bolts. You
may want to have univ-joint 10mm socket before starting as clearance is
tight. Good luck.
